Poll: How can science get its mojo back?

  • You could barely make this question more "leading" if you tried.

  • One of the neat features of the HN Poll is that I can add more choices. Respond to this comment with your favorite 'science mistake', and I'll consider adding it to the poll.

  • There’s nothing to be gained in admitting mistakes. Team science should take credit for the weight loss drugs that are in the process of making everyone’s lives measurably better.

    Literally where? I have yet to see a single non-politician support this behavior. Everyone I talk to is worried about Musk's track record with personal information, his chronic lying and the potential anticompetitive advantages of his federal ascension.

    This entire post is a pretty delusional tirade but this takes the cake. If it was a populist decision then Congress would have voted on it... but they didn't, even with a Republican majority. Trump's behavior is so plainly illegal he can't trust his own fucking party to support him.
